the way to shop…

Posted 02/24/11 by Kate Arends

If she can’t afford it, she won’t buy it. If it doesn’t fit (or make her feel good, or flaunt what she’s got), she won’t wear it. If she can’t find it, she won’t compromise. If she loves it, she won’t toss it. She reuses it, rethinks it, lets it age.

When a French girl shops, it isn’t a solitary act of buying something new. It’s part of a lifelong process of editing her environment, making small but meaningful additions to her home, her closet, her life.

When you shop like a French girl, you buy only one of anything – and make sure it’s the best quality you can afford.

good advise and worth to try out for the own life!
I am not sure but I think I have a source for the photo. If I am not wrong, here is the blog from the french girl shown: http://www.leblogdebetty.com/ she is a fashion blogger from Paris 🙂

Such good advice and yet somehow so hard to follow. Too often I find myself buying something new for a specific event or because I need a pick me up. Maybe if I followed this philosophy I wouldn’t be tempted so easily. Ahhh French girls…

I’ve been living by this since the day I got my first part-time job. My Nana took me aside and said, “V – now that you have your own money, I expect you to buy high quality things. Even if you can only afford one item a year.”
